Circuit's Edge. As an obscure collector's item, it's one of the best there is.

But how is it as a game? The good news to all Infocom fans is that, although it's nowhere near the quality level reached by Infocom at their height, Quarterstaff is a fun RPG that combines windows and parser into an effective interface which is reminiscent of Magnetic Scrolls' interface used in their Collection 1 release. There are windows and menus for text, inventory, objects in the vicinity, optional graphics, maps, and an extensive on-line help and hint system.

Infocom's famous parser is still around, and is up to their standards, although there is a few annoying twists -- non-cardinal directions such as northeast and southwest aren't understood, the "UNDO" command is absent, and some of the basic verbs have been altered e.

Also, somehow Infocom decided to drop many of the abbreviations that IF fans have come to take for granted. None of these quirks, however, is serious enough to hamper anyone's enjoyment of the game.

The party is split into "leader" and "followers," who can be ordered to follow the leader by typing cardinal directions. However, you need to type one command for each member if you want them to do anything specific.

This, naturally, leads to a much longer play session.
